   Let's word it differently: the API doesn't support a simple way to emit an arbitrary GROUP BY clause. The aggregate/annotate APIs do not cover all legitimate uses of GROUP BY besides very simple cases (sum, avg, etc).

   To be sincere, I find Django's ORM is one of the weakest ones (e.g., the API doesn't support a simple GROUP BY). If you want to make a good case for ORMs, Django's may not be a very strong argument. In about 5 years working w

   It's common sense between many cultures and philosophies that sex drains energy, at least for males.

    With digital capture, color response is predictable, so you get accurate but boring images straight out of camera. Highly saturated colors, highlights and shadows can also clip because you don't have enough bits, so there's less r

    It's easy to integrate with Backbone if you want for this kind of architecture, as it already implements events and stores. I've found it requires less boilerplate than the example in the repo.

    It's not "cheap" when you have to install a breaker for each one. For the companies it's cheaper to have a transformer blow up every now and then. It'll only be considered an investment when the damage can out-weigh

    > The notation is similar Not at all. Math notation is ad-hoc and not necessarily consistent. It's just a communication tool. A programming language on the other hand has to be consistent if you want a machine to parse.

    In my experience, React has been a better realization of the concept behind Polymer ("reusable web components"), without the non-sense. I don't even consider server-side rendering the killer feature.

    Maybe the choice of methane is because it's renewable? They might be betting on that to keep the costs low in the long-term.
